Is the plural prefix always os- or does it have variations? For example, in my Uatakassí, genders 1-3 plurals involve gemination, for example: singular n-lakús, plural nal-lakús-i (man/men), na-tabí, nat-tabí-i (boy/boys). Yep, redundant plural-marking, one of my personal favorite features of Uatakassí. -- Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos God gave teeth; God will give bread - Lithuanian proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
